haha. Magic or more-magic?

gaslight 02-05-2009 11:56 PM

I'm going to find a switch somewhere I can put a magic/more magic sticker on.

I just tried the KFC Tower burger. Pretty good.

Meatplow 02-06-2009 05:29 AM

its just a hash brown in a fillet or a zinger with some tomato sauce :/

gaslight 02-06-2009 05:32 AM

Everything is just a something with a something. Sometimes without a second something.

Meatplow 02-06-2009 05:45 AM

very true

gaslight 02-06-2009 05:49 AM

Gotta say I think they made up the part about the tomato sauce being tangy.

Quiet night on the internet.

Meatplow 02-06-2009 05:55 AM

it is a little tangy

playing lots and lots of NES games

gaslight 02-06-2009 05:59 AM

Love the NES.

What do you guys reckon of those mini CDs, the 3"(8cm) ones?

horseypie 02-06-2009 06:08 AM

like minidiscs? that sony brought out for a new music revolution but then realised they shouldve gone into mp3?

gaslight 02-06-2009 06:14 AM

Nah MiniDisc is different technology to CDs. The 8cm CDs are the same technology as the standard 12cm CD, just with reduced data capacity.

MiniDisc is a pretty excellent format for doing field recordings and stuff but will never be anything more than a niche market.

horseypie 02-06-2009 06:16 AM

ohh yea the small ones

i never understood how you could use them unless you put that black disc aound them to make them fit in a cd drive, which kind of defeated the purpose

gaslight 02-06-2009 06:22 AM

They'll work in any CD drive that has a hub thing to stick them around without any gadgets but yeah, they're pretty hopeless for those slot loading or tray ones, that's my main gripe with them.

That and they're only good for singles or short EPs because their maximum audio content is like 21 minutes.

horseypie 02-06-2009 06:30 AM

yeah they seem pretty gimmicky

gaslight 02-06-2009 06:38 AM

Yeah pretty much.

I'm thinking of offering them through my business anyway and if no-one goes for it then that's okay. I've got some cool ideas for packaging them and stuff though, hopefully there'll be a bit of a niche for it, they'd be fun to make.

Meatplow 02-06-2009 06:41 AM

i remember the only time i ever had one was when it was shoved under the lid of some drink i bought from hungry jacks or something

it had samples from some australian hip-hop dance act who was big at the time what the hell was their name they had a chinese drummer who would stand up playing and had a film clip where people were calling each other wack or something

gaslight 02-06-2009 07:09 AM

Haha. Gross on all counts.

horseypie 02-06-2009 07:18 AM

I haven't slept on the floor of a train but I've been on the floor of those Newcastle ones, spewing excess beer down the gap in the floor between carriages. That was one of my lower moments but I tried to class it up by listening to Mingus while it happened.

Aaron 02-06-2009 08:34 AM

word to that

gaslight 02-06-2009 08:37 AM

I'm writing these songs on bass that are hard as to play, it's gonna be top practise.

Aaron 02-06-2009 08:40 AM

cabtab

Chu 02-06-2009 08:42 AM

I have a headless bass in front of me.

The higher frets for the D and G strings (>17) are scalloped, it's quite an axe.

big80smullet 02-06-2009 08:54 AM

i slept in paddingon station waiting for my train. i got there at 1:07 barely missing the 1:05 train. i eventually caught the 11:45am train after a nice sleep in the toilets :D

gaslight 02-06-2009 09:06 AM

Haha Evan wins.

What did you do, lock yourself in a cubicle?

Chu 02-06-2009 09:09 AM

Except, this is black body, and the scalloped frets. (It belongs to a friend of my brother's who has been playing bass with him for a while now, I don't know much about it).

gaslight 02-06-2009 09:12 AM

Radical.

haha yeah. sat down to take a piss and fell asleep


my mate has a jackson with all the frets scalloped its hardcore shredz beast

gaslight 02-06-2009 09:22 AM

I've never played a scalloped guitar.

I remember a funny pic from ages ago were some guy had done a home scalloping job and basically taking ice-cream scoop sized chunks out of his neck. It was like a series of gently rolling hills except gently rolling hills aren't a ruined guitar.

Chu 02-06-2009 09:26 AM

The scallops here are quite deep, about half-way into the fret I think.

Still, sounds amazing, and the tuning is amazingly solid, in the 5 years I've known the guy who owns this bass, I know of 1 time he has re-tuned it, and that was replacing the strings.

Meatplow 02-06-2009 09:28 AM

i could go some scallops right now, with chicken salt

theres a take away shop two doors down might be my lunch tommorow
